I felt a twinge of unease. "Atlas is getting in touch with the best doctor we can find right now, Mom. We'll take you to the hospital for another checkup soon. If everything checks out, I'll take you back to look around your old place tomorrow. You can still stay here since there's people to look after you. It'll make me feel better too."

She shook her head and did not speak. It looked like she was struggling to control her emotions.

"You know you can't rely on your son. How can you go back by yourself? I'll worry about you."

I suddenly understood what she was thinking. Could it be that she sensed her time was running out?

"Let's go to the hospital for another checkup, then we can decide what to do, okay?" I tried to comfort her. I didn't want her to worry too much.

"I'm fine. I just want to go home. I miss it so much. Otherwise, please just do one thing for me. Find me a caregiver. I'll pay for it myself. I have the money." Grace held my hand, her expression filled with suppressed emotion. "What did I ever do to deserve a daughter-in-law like you, Chloe? But I treated you so horribly..."

"Enough. Don't think about that," I said.

Just then, Ava pushed the door open and ran in. "Mommy, Uncle Atlas says everything's been arranged."

I looked at the little girl. "Got it. I'll take grandma to the hospital, so you stay home and be a good girl, okay?"

"I want to go with you and grandma to the hospital, mommy. I want to take care of grandma." She climbed onto the bed, pressing against Grace's legs. "Grandma's sick. I want to take care of her." Grace smiled, tears streaming down her face. "I'm glad I have such a good granddaughter."
